The annual Adams Ski & Golf Day is being held on Friday 3 July at Mt Buller and the Mansfield Golf Course, with the Calcutta Dinner on Thursday 2 July.
This fun event allows teams of four to enjoy the sporting attributes of skiing at Buller and playing golf in Mansfield whilst raising money for a worthy cause.
The fundraising event first commenced in 1999 to raise money towards Mansfield schools snowsports programs and has now raised in excess of $500,000 which is an outstanding achievement by all involved.
“Another fantastic fundraising milestone for our local Mansfield schools with over $500,000 raised since 1999,” said Mark Adams.
“This year’s Adams Ski & Golf Day with 22 teams raised more than $50,000, including a generous $5,000 contribution from the winning team on the day, XTM Munshaft. Zach and I would like to extend our warm thanks to Buller Ski Lifts, Mansfield Golf Course, and all the incredible local supporters who continue to make this event such a success.”
It is not too late to get some friends together to build your team of four and have a fantastic day on the snow, and the fairways, while raising money for the Mansfield schools skiing and snowboarding programs.
Money raised will be distributed between Mansfield Primary, Mansfield Secondary, St Mary’s Primary, Merrijig Primary, Jamieson Primary, Steiner School and Mt Buller Sports and Recreation Association to support local kids learning snowsports at Mt Buller enabling many children to participate in snow sports for the very first time.
Consistency rather than speed is the objective around the gates and teams are rewarded for having the smallest time differential between each rider’s two runs. Following the ski and snowboard leg, the teams make their way to the Mansfield Golf Course for a BBQ lunch followed by an Ambrose competition.
After the round finishes, presentations include a fantastic array of prizes supported by local businesses.
Further details next issue of Mt Buller News – but in the meantime go online and book your team for a great day out.
